Profile:
At 20, Yuvraj Singh has already been in and out of the Indian team many
times. After making his debut in the ICC KnockOut in Kenya in dramatic
fashion, Yuvraj was celebrated as the architect of a
revival in Indian cricket. A spanking 80-ball 84 against Australia - his
first knock in international cricket - showed that the tall lad from
Chandigarh had what it took to perform at the highest
level. Following that knock, however, Yuvraj suffered a bad run of scores
before eventually being dropped from the team when the Australians toured
India in early 2001.
In the tri-series in Sri Lanka in August 2001, Yuvraj broke a run of bad
form with a breezy unbeaten 98 against the hosts. Running out of overs on
that occasion, the century eluded - and continues to elude - Yuvraj. After
a disastrous tour of South Africa, Yuvraj was dropped for the home series
against England.
He only regained his place in the side against Zimbabwe in early 2002. In
consecutive matches, Yuvraj came in with India chasing stiff targets. With
match-winning knocks of 80* and 75, Yuvraj
was once again the blue-eyed boy of Indian cricket.
A well-built lad, Yuvraj strikes the ball very hard. His critics feel that
he is uncomfortable and unbalanced driving off the front foot, and that
might be borne out by the fact that he has fallen to
spinners on a number of occasions. A useful left-arm spinner, Yuvraj
sometimes refrains from bowling because of a recurring back strain that
threatened to put him out of action more
than once. An explosive fielder inside the circle, Yuvraj has impressed
everyone with his ability to pull off sensational catches and run-outs.
Yuvraj's father Yograj Singh represented India in one Test against New
Zealand in 1981. (Anand Vasu)
